I took my almost finished wooden boat for a paddle to Hope Cove this morning. Here's a few pics...

In amongst the rocks
Crystal clear water
I paid the price for heading into the rock gardens, but that's what she was built for!!! That gouge goes through the seam tape.
Quiet lunch stop at Hope
I did the return journey directly across the bay from Hope to Bigbury (3.5 statute miles) in approximately 45-50 minutes with a freshening Southerly wind and with quatering wind chop and a small swell. How does that time sound to you guys? I was pleased with it, especially as the boat is only 14ft long!!!
I'm really pleased, but isn't it weird how quickly you start making changes to your boat...
